I'll be getting my chicken from Sams club from now on. I picked up 2.28 lbs of chicken for 13.06. I been getting it from foodlion but lately the prices have been going up, and the quality going down. This was more than enough we had to freeze some of it.

I use the Schiek 2004 Model. All of the sizes are detailed in the link below. Imo, it's a very good belt. I have no idea if you can buy it from the site, though; I was lucky to find mine at a local fitness shop.

If it's too thin, the 2006 model is an option.
- 4-3/4" width in back
- Patented downward angle fits the natural shape of your back
- Patented hip and rib contour for extra comfort
- Patented one-way Velcro[emoji]174[/emoji] for an exact fit
- Belts widen in front for extra abdominal support
- Dual closure system with heavy duty stainless steel slide bar buckle
- Two year warranty
- Washable - hand wash only with mild detergent and air dry
- Made with pride in the USA
- Available with or without detachable suspenders

Yea you can get a 6.5 LB bag from Costco for about $23.
Speaking of chicken breasts, co-worker just gave me an idea. Not sure why I never thought of this. Pulled Chicken. Just throw them in the crockpot with BBQ Sauce and seasoning, add your spice, cook for like 6 hours. I am sure you can find a recipe online somewhere

I highly suggest my cutters get up on this ground turkey train. It's my secret weapon every cut. Good volume feel, low cal, low fat, good protein.

you can get it with no fat too. it's cooks up different though. i don't mind the 1-7% fat options. add some seasoning, I have it as one of my meals everyday.

I usually buy 93% lean ground turkey just because the ground turkey breast that's lower in fat is usually a little more expensive and I'm not stressing over a little extra fat.
Ground turkey is really easy to make a variety of things. Ground turkey with beans, salsa, a little bit of cheese, for a healthier quesadilla with whole wheat tortillas... or throw a little rice in there for a burrito. Turkey burgers are clutch too. My go-to easy healthy meal is black beans, ground turkey, brown rice, and veggies, usually peas. Super easy and cheap. 20 oz of turkey for 5 bucks, bag of frozen veggies for 2 dollars, beans and rice are only a couple of bucks, so you can get 4 solid meals for about 10 dollars. Hard to beat and you don't need to be a genius to cook it up.
I've felt a breakthrough in my habits and cravings for the junk I was eating. I still love sweets and crap, of course
but I've been skipping the usual post work trip to McDonalds and my cheat meal didn't turn into an entire day of junk food. So the cravings have gone down a bit, it's just getting my body used to eating a diet without all that sugar and fast food I've been used to.
The gym has been a work in progress. It's been fun dealing with the soreness of squats and deadlifts when I've never done those movements before
I've never been more sore but I remember how good of a feeling it can be too. It feels like progress and growth, which I'm happy with.

I use to use my crock pot for chicken all the time. Then i just got tired of cleaning it so i went back to oven.
I have Himalayan pink salt thats been in my cabinet for 4 years and not even opened. Is it that much better?

Need help with a meal plan. I'm strictly trying. To lose fat/weight. Should I be eating chicken rice and veggies all the time? I really have no idea.

Many will suggest you track your macros and calories.
Use an online calculator http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ was the one always recommended to me (if there are others recommended then use that) and you enter all your info and try to find an estimate of your daily caloric needs. Then you can use the calculator to set your goals (weight loss, maintenance, weight gain) and it'll give you a breakdown of how many calories you need along with how many grams of fat, protein, and carbs.
From there you then plan your meals and track your numbers, which isn't as much work as it sounds. The app/website My Fitness Pal is very helpful for that. Weight loss is all about a caloric deficit, so burn more calories than you consume and you'll lose weight. It's helpful once you start looking at the numbers to see what you're actually consuming
I've been eating healthier in general and losing a bit of weight and my diet has been eggs, whole wheat bread, lean meats (chicken, turkey, lean beef), tuna, salmon, fish, vegetables, brown rice, greek yogurt, a lot of coffee, sweet potatoes, beans, and so on.
